Bike— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly using the past tense: say “I had” rather than “I do have.” Name the bike brand clearly, and add one relevant detail about where or how often you rode it. Avoid the unclear reference to a wholesale store and reduce fillers and repetition.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a Giant bike when I was a child. I rode it around my neighborhood almost every day, especially during the summer. It was my main way of getting around and having fun.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer and clarify whether you mean bicycles are popular now or were more common in the past. Use accurate grammar and phrasing, such as “families couldn’t afford cars” and “children and their parents rode bikes.” Support your point with a concise comparison or example.

Ejemplo: Yes, bicycles are popular in my country, although they were even more common when I was growing up. Fifteen years ago, many families couldn’t afford a car, so children rode bikes to school and adults used them to get to work. These days, more people own cars, but bikes are still a convenient option.

× Yes, I do have a bike when a child.

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The question asks about the past, so use the past-tense verb had instead of do have. The phrase when a child also needs a subject and verb: when I was a child.

× I usually ride by when I was child.

✓ I usually rode my bike when I was a child.

The sentence describes a past habit, so use rode rather than ride. Use my bike to make clear what was being ridden, and include the article a before child.

× I usually ride by when I was child.

✓ I usually rode my bike when I was a child.

Child is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Say a child.

× Nearly like ninety percent of family cannot afford to buy a car.

✓ Nearly 90 percent of families could not afford to buy a car.

The speaker is describing the past, so use could not instead of cannot. Could not is the past form of can not.

× Nearly like ninety percent of family cannot afford to buy a car.

✓ Nearly 90 percent of families could not afford to buy a car.

The sentence refers to many families, so use the plural noun families rather than the singular family.

× So most of the child even their parents ride bike to go to school go to work.

✓ So most children, and even their parents, rode bikes to school and work.

Most refers to more than one child, so use children. The sentence also refers to bikes generally, so use the plural bikes.

× So most of the child even their parents ride bike to go to school go to work.

✓ So most children, and even their parents, rode bikes to school and work.

The sentence describes what people did in the past, so use rode rather than ride.
